JAD, this board does not have onboard video...if it did I wouldn't even
be messing with this video card. I used to just stick to onboard video
when buy a motherboard cause onboard suits me fine. But when I was
buying, I had limited my choices to two boards; this one (with no
onboard video), and another one that had onboard video. I chose this
one for the simple fact that it had 5 pci slots compared to 3 for the
other one.

SP Goodman, I've tried just about everything to try to make this
mobo/bios seem as if it was powered for the first time many times. For
example, I've had to clear CMOS about 30 times or so (forced to
whenever I get the 8-beep error), I've removed the battery, removed the
power cord, disconnected the power supply's connectors, removed the
CPU, have flashed the BIOS about 3 times, removed all hardware,
peripherals & mobo connections (except the case's power switch & reset
button connectors), tried using 3 types of memory but to no avail. The
thing is I can't remember if I was getting the routing table error when
I _first_ connected everything as the damn MSI logo was displayed on
bootup. So I'm not sure if I was always getting the error & not seeing
it til I disabled the logo display or if it was something that happened
as a result of something afterwards.

As far as a diagnostic, I have not run any. Are there any out there in
particular I should take a look at? At the moment I've just resorted to
linux (debian) as it handles video somewhat better (still crappy
nonetheless); I still have my 'Ultimate Boot CD 4 Windows', however &
I've been able to run AID32/Everest.
